God's Name Removed from the Bible

Oh stop it. I'm talking about a meaning of a name. You have no idea what you're talking about. Look up the meaning of Yeshua.
OK. You are saying it means Elohim is salvation. And I am saying wrong.

Some people seem to think so. Do you know some people think Yeshua and YHVH are the same?
If your translating the meaning of his name into English why do you need to use a Hebrew word.
Well I ain't one of them.

Yet, the Jews, who wrote the dang thing, didn't vocalize the name. They wrote it so that readers would know who they were referring to. "Praising" and "glorifying" God's name doesn't include vocalizing the name.

Knowing there were Jews early on that could recite these books in Hebrew in oral tradition, said what exactly before they quit saying it out loud?
They had no problem describing it very differently, and Yahweh would have been no exception. El Elyon, god most high. El shaddai, god almighty
Interesting what oral tradition used when reciting this during the period it was not spoken.

The Jews did use God's name freely in both their worship and daily conversations, as previously mentioned in this thread. Here are a few examples of many; Ruth 1:13, 2:4, Joshua 23:14,15 There is no valid basis to claim the Jews did not speak God's Name.

"LORD" isn't God's name.
The word "LORD" in all capital letters is used to indicate that Jehovah's Name was replaced. The manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures contain Jehovah's name in Hebrew in the scripture verses I cited, and in thousands of other verses.

So? It's not God's name. It's substituted for YHVH, because YHVH isn't pronounceable. It didn't "replace" YHVH. "Replacing" indicates that "LORD" has supplanted YHVH as God's name.
